SCU Christmas 

Portrayed In all its reverence 
and simplicity, the Christmas 
story will be featured in a series 

of tableau presented by the Stu- 
dent Christian Union Wednesday, 
December 18 during chapel period. 
Eilene Tamplin directs the student 
production which will be a climax 
to S.C.U. and school Christmas ac- 
tivities. 

A piano solo, "Chimes," will be 
played by Blanche Brooks to set 
the mood. Then the costumed 
characters will portray the familiar 
scenes at the manger, the appear- 
ance of the angels to the shep- 
herds, the visit of the wise men 
and the three kings. 

Those taking part will be Divon- 
na Schweitzer as Mary, Clair 
Smith as Joseph, and Jack Martin 
as innkeeper. Shepherds are Glenn 
Armstrong, Conrad Cline, Floyd 
Brown, and Maurice Magee. Nor- 
val Hadley, Aldean Pitts and 
Glenn Koch are to represent the 
three kings from the Orient. An- 
gels will be Leona Harris, Alice 
Kippenham and Verla Aebischer. 
Louis Byrd will act as narrator of 
the Scriptural story being prepar- 
ed by Mary McClintick. Costuming 
is taken care of by Adele Briggs,. 
Barbara Magee, and Marjorie Cole. 

Special lighting effects and stag- 
ing scenes will be constructed by 
Herschel Thornburg, piano art in- 
structor, who also supervises the 
production. Prof. Roy Clark is the 
sponsor of S.C.U. 

Not only members of S.C.U., but 
all students and those affiliated 
with the college are invited to at- 
tend this special function. 



Students Sponsor 
Mission Project 

By Roy Clark 

In answer to a deep concern on 
the part of many students, the S. 
C.U. has launched a program of 
weekly mission visitations in down- 
town Portland. The project calls 
for regular student-directed serv- 
ices a tthe Peniel Mission on S. W. 
First street, and bi-weekly services 
at the Open Door Mission on S. W. 
Burnside. 

The technique of mission evan- 
gelism, is a valuable experience in 
the life of any Christian worker. 
It follows the plan, not of formal 
organized church services, but em- 
phasizing street" meetings, personal 
evangelism, zealous testimonies, 
and short sermonettes, followed by 
a personal appeal for decision. It 
deals with the unchurched lower 
strata of urban society, and re- 
markable instances of conversion 
are often seen.

Coop Alters Constitution 

Effective as soon as the final 
okay is put on it by the Bruin Jr. 
Cooperative association is a new 
amendment to the constitution of 
the group. "This concerns the buy- 
ing of shares," Earl Craven pres- 
ident of the Coop stated, "and 
says, in effect, that those buying 
shares at the end of the year will 
not receive the same dividends as 
the early share-buyers." 

The year will be divided into 
three parts. Those who purchase 
Coop shares during the first third 
will receive full dividends; those 
buying stock the second part of 



the year will receive two-thirds, 
and the late buyers only one-third 
of the dividends. This is being done 
in order to protect a flood of last 
minute buyers next spring when 
it is time for dividends to be pass- 
ed out. Roger Minthorne, senior, 
was in charge of drafting this 
amendment to the constitution. It 
also includes the requirement of 
Coop members to vote in election 
concerning the association, and 
other Coop matter as well. 

There are still shares to be ob- 
tained at three dollars. Prospec- 
tive buyers are asked to see Mrs. 
Moore at the Coop store or Earl 
Craven. 



Qtital Play Cad 

"Our Hearts Were Young and 
Gay," the rollicking, carefree story 
of two girls' excursion to Paris, 
will be presented by the student 
body Friday and Saturday aight, 
January 17 and 18 in Wood-Mar 
hall. Talented freshmen Bethel 
Herndon and Mildred Thiesen take 
the leads as the heroines, Cornelia 
Otis Skinner and Emily Kim- 
brough. 

Cornelia and Emily manage to 
have a varied, but always hectic 
time from the moment they board 
the ship and say their farewells 
to Cornelia's parents (Marie Hur- 
ford and Stanley Williams) until 
the curtain goes down upon the 
final scene. 

Soon after starting on their 
ocean voyage, Cornelia and Emily 
make the acquaintances of two 
young medical students, Dick Win- 
ters (Ben Franklin) and Lew Mc- 
Evoy (Dick Cadd) who all add con- 
siderably to the story (!) and the 
two English girls, Winifred 
Flaugh (Anne Moore) and Harriet 
St. John (Jeanne Woodward) who 
occupy a stateroom near by. 

Just as the ship reaches Paris, 
Cornelia breaks out with the 
measles! However, the boys and 
Emily manage to get her past the 
Inspector (Esther Mae Moor) and 
to a hotel in Paris. Here they meet 
Therese (Mary Jackson) daughter 
of the proprietor and general maid 
around the hotel, and her mother, 
Madame Elise (Anne Moore). Cor- 
nelia and Emily have quite a time 
with their French, until they dis- 
cover that Therese and Madame 
Elise understand English! 

One of the chief purposes of 
their visit to Paris was for Cor- 
nelia to study dramatics under 
Monsieue della Croix, (Don John- 
son. Imagine her disappointment 
when he informs her that she has 
no talent whatsoever. 

Other characters which go to 
make up the cast are Melvin Veale 
as the steward, Leroy Nifert as 
the purser, Mary Jackson, stew- 
ardess; John Sommons, admiral, 
and Vern Brightup, window clean- 
er. 

In the last scene Mr. and Mrs. 
Skinner arrive in Paris to take 
their darling daughter home, ar- 
riving in the midst of a side-split- 
ting episode with bedbugs!

Renowned Youth For Christ Speaker, 
Composer Presents Chapel Exercises 




Phil Kerr 



Choir Announces 
Concert Plans 
For '46-'47 Year 

Those voluminous peals of re- 
sounding harmony heard rolling 
from the music room twice week- 
ly represent the intensive work of 
the A Cappella choir in prepara- 
tion for the concert season soon to 
begin. 

New robes have been purchased 
of navy blue poplin, with white 
linen collars added for the women, 
giving the group a colorful, but 
traditionally conservative appear- 
ance. 

A sacred program repertoire has 
been outlined by the director, Prof. 
Roy Clark, and is in the advanced 
stages of preparation. Several 
favorites have been carried over 
from the program of previous 
years, but most of the selections 
are new. The program will be de- 
signed with a spiritual emphasis 
and meaningful interpretation of 
some of the great choral classics, 
balanced with modern arrange- 
ments of gospel songs and spirit- 
uals. 

Pre-season appearances of the 
group will include the Newberg 
and Chehalem Center Friends 
churches shortly after the holidays 
and the local Youth for Christ, 
January 27. Concert itinery will 
begin in February and will include 
many churches in Portland, Salem, 
Newberg, and vicinities. The high 
point of the season will be the long 
anticipated tour of California in 
April with a schedule of twenty 
concerts. 

Officers for the organization are: 
Norval Harley, president; Wayne 
Antrim, business manager; Dick 
Cadd, transportation manager; 
Roy Clark, director, and Herschel 
Thornburg, accompanist.

NEWS NOTES 
The Gerald Dunnagan's are 
being congratulated upon the birth 
of a son December 9. Mrs. Dun- 
nagan (Vivian Miller) is a former 
student. 



Composer, speaker, pianist, 
musician, Youth for Christ leader, 
Phil Kerr of Glendale, California, 
will be heard by students of Pa- 
cific college in their regular Mon- 
day morning chapel period today. 
Mr. Kerr will also be the featured 
speaker at this evening's Youth for 
Christ meeting held in the Central 
grade school here in Newberg. 

Phil Kerr is a versatile musical 
evangelist, pianist, author, com- 
poser, and musical authority. More 
than 1,200 songs have come from 
his pen, many of which are widely 
known. His writings appear regu- 
larly in national periodicals. He is 
the author of a musical history, 
now in its third edition, which is 
a standard textbook in colleges 
and seminaries. 

A songbook containing many of 
his better-known compositions is 
now in its fifteenth edition, and 
includes such national favorites as 
"In Love With the Lover of My 
Soul" and "Over in Glory." 

He has made more than seventy 
coast-to-coast concert tours, pre- 
senting gospel song concerts in 
every state and abroad. During 
his travels he has broadcast from 
the studios of more than four hun- 
dred radio stations. He served for 
five years as manager of a radio 
station, and another five years as 
editor of a musical periodical. 

Specializing in the study of 
hymn lore, Kerr has visited every 
famous living hymn writer, and 
has taken motion pictures of them. 



Speakers Prepare 
For Jan. 7 Contest 

Preliminaries for the after-din- 
ner speaking contest are slated for 
January 7. "American Political 
Potpourri" is to be the subject 
both at the local and the state con- 
tests. "Potpourri", Webster states, 
means a mixture. Finals are to be 
held January 13, 7:00 p. m. at Lin- 
field college. Last year Pacific's 
entrant, Norval Hadley, copped the 
second place in the state finals. 

Professor Riley, instructor in 
speech, urges all students inter- 
ested in bettering their speech, to 
enter the various events as the ex- 
perience in preparation and de- 
livery of the different types of 
speeches is invaluable, even though 
one does not place in a contest. 
He gives a few suggestions for 
those interested in the after-din- 
ner contest: 

1. The good speech has a ser- 
ious foundation shot through with 
good humor. The series of "funny 
stories" is very poor. 

2. The speech is to be flexible 
and should adjust to the previous 
speeches or to the situation. Al- 
though the material is to be well 
in mind, the delivery should be in 
an extemporaneous manner rather 
than as a memorized speech. 

Those having any specific ques- 
tions are advised to contact Pro- 
fessor Riley either Tuesday or 
Thursday or to see Forensics chair- 
man Vera Jones. 




FROM SANTA'S MAILBAG . . Santa's Scribe 

Sends Warning 



Pacific College, 
Newberg, Oregon, 
Dec. 16, 1946. 

Dear Santa: 

Instead of flooding your mail 
box with all sorts and sizes of let- 
ters from our college, we thought 
we would just take a census of the 
students' Christmas wishes and 
give you a summary in one big let- 
ter. 

First of all, Eleanor Swanson 
would like to find in her stocking 
a big blonde ex-coastguardsman, 
who drives a '41 convertible Chev, 
while her room-mate (Mickey), 
seems to prefer an ex-navyman 
with black wavy hair and a '36 
V-8. 

Eleanor Burton would like a new 
football in her stocking, and she 
adds, "P. S. You might put in a 
tall red-headed P. C. captain too." 

From observing, we think Pauly 
Ireland would like a truck driver 
(G. K.), and possibly the truck 
too. 




Some of the students sort of 
hate to admit what they want, but 
from all appearances it looks as 
though Lawrence Lehman and Mel 
Veale would like little gifts — nam- 
ed Beth Rockett and Leona Har- 
mon. 

Enid Briggs says she doesn't 
think you can make it down the 
chimney with her package so just 
leave the one with Ross in it on 
the front porch. 

Yes, it's funny why a big fellow 
like Bob St. George would want a 
doll for Christmas, but that's just 
what he wants, it seems, and he 
would like it to be named Lois 
Elkins. 

It looks as though Mary Jack- 
son and Dot Hays have opened 
their packages early and found a 
couple of teddy bears ( ? ) named 
Carl Reed and Jim Moore, so you 
needn't bring them much more. 

And Santa, we seem to be hav- 
ing a little difficulty in that Stan 
ley Williams, Vern Brightup, andl 
Lewie Byrd would all like that 



little prize package labeled Jean 
W. You can do as you see fit about 
that package, but please supply 
the two unfortunate ones with 
something else. 

Some of the students were satis- 
fied with the present they had last 
year and would sort of like the 
same thing again this year if it is 
O. K. with you. Clair and Derrol 
would like to keep getting Lois 
and Ruth and we haven't heard 
Norval complaining about his 
faithful little bundle (Mary). From 
here on out it looks as though 
you'll just about have to keep giv- 
ing Eileen Tamplin, Laura Shook, 
Leona Harris, and Pal.y Perisho 
the same gift because they've al- 
ready mads (heir down payment 
on four certain models. 

They say you know everything 
and see everything Santa, so we 
won't take time to tell you what 
the rest of the students want, but 
please don't disappoint anyone by 
leaving them out. You probably 
know better than we do anyhow, 
so use your best judgement, and 
we'll be seeing you — or at least re- 
sults from your visit) soon — we 
hope! 

Love, and hopefully yours, 
P. C. Corresponding Secretary. 

P. S.-We forgot to tell you 
what takes first place in Polly By- 
bee's wishes. I th.nk it's already 
being taken care of, but we 
thought maybe you'd be interested 
to know anyhow — in case you can 
help her in some way. It seems 
she can't wait for some new broth- 
ers, because this note was found 
circulating the sociology class 
Tuesday, December 10. "Jack: In 
293 hours and 17,590 minutes, and 
1,054,800 seconds I'll be your sis- 
ter. Polly." 



JOKES 

Pauly (reading a newspaper) : 
"It says here that most accidents 
happen in the kitchen." 

Bob: "Yes, and men have to eat 
them." 



Helen Antrim: (to the cop who 
had just stopped her for driving 
over fifty miles an hour). "You're 
crazy, I haven't been out an hour." 






It's in 1h: air, it's on the faces 
cf 'ho n=poIe you meet on the 
s'roet, it's a'l arornd you — oh, 
you want to know what I'm talk- 
ing about? Why, Christmas of 
course! And all you little kids had 
better be good, because Santa 
Claus is coming before long and 
if you want to get that very spe- 
cial thing you've been wishing for 
—you know, with eyes shut tight 
and fingers crossed, or on that 
first star at evening (if you've 
seen a star recently!), well, you'd 
better check up and see if you're 
being as good as you could be, 
'causff with Santa Claus that really 
counts. I wonder how many black 
marks he h->s down f-r you — to 
say nothing of me! And what does 
dear old Santa give black marks 
for? Well, I'll have to think on 
that one awhile. It's rather hard 
to think of something naughty 
that I've seen going on around 
ths campus, but maybe (just may- 
be) Sanfa would g've a black mark 
for — well, for instance, perhaps 
ens evening you're so hungry you

WHOSE BIRTHDAY? 

When I was young in clothes so small, the day I loved the most 
Was Xmas, with its toys and all, and some big juicy roast. 
Then came the day when Xmas time meant giving gifts and such. 
The carols and the season's rhymn I treasured very much. 

And then I met the One whose birth we sing of every year, 
And Christmas made a change from mirth, to a day so very dear. 
It's different when you know the one whose birth you celebrate. 
The day saems far more dear than just another "holi-date." 

The star that shown o'er Bethlehem in days of long ago 
Will shine in hearts of men today, if they will have it so. 
Make Christmas something new and dear; quit following from afar. 
Accept the Christ, the world's hope, the Bright and Morning Star. 



just can't resist ealing a carrot 
stick before grace. (Grace, who? 
Oh, juit tell hsr to go to another 
ta'ole, if she doesn't like to see me 
eating!) or (to get back to the 
sufcje.t) porhaps you gtggla too 
emphatically at ths jokes in the 
latest Readers Digest in the lib- 
lary, or throw your candy wrap- 
pers to.va-d the waste basket. I'm 
af k id Santa might jot down some 
black marks. But of course, there 
is a bright side to the picture — 
Santa also keeps a record of your 
good deeds. And maybe, if you're 



real, r^al good you'll, have enough 
brlgiit checks to cancel some of 
the black marks. Like always get- 
tins to class on time, and writing 
home regulany, or getting that 
extra special girl in a minute be- 
fore ihe deadline instead of wait- 
ing until 10:30 on the dot. (That's 
foi you fellas.) And you gals bet- 
ter be careful about flirting with 
ti.ose baby blue eyes, because 
Santa might give a black mark for 
that ins Lead of a bright one. 



For Christians Only! 

A new fella comes to school. He wears the little gold 
pin of the ex-serviceman. He comes to classes, shyly tries to 
mix. You get off in your corner with the girl friend and whis- 
per, "He's not a Christian". You pigeonhole him, classify him, 
lick your label and stick it on him and there he is! Just let 
anyone attempt to change that classification. Your attitude 
toward him assumes the sterotyped "I can't touch you, you're 
not a Christian" inclination. Nothing can change you. You 
know — and that's that. 

Or maybe you get a "burden" for 'this soul and sorrow- 
fully watch him walk in the library some morning. "It's too 
bad he can't see the advantages of Christianity," you say. 
Sure it's too bad, it's worse than that, it's tragic — but 
how can he see it if he doesnt see it in you ? Will your mourn- 
ful shoulder-patting-between-sniffles-attitude show him how 
real and genuinely joyful a Christian's life is? Maybe it's 
your nature to gurgle and sob over a soul where the soul him- 
self can hear it. Sure, he may be touched by the concern, but 
he can't help but wonder why in the world are you so con- 
cerned ovef giving him the long faced view on humanity that 
you have. Yes, why are you ? 

This isn't easy to read. Well, it's far from being easy 
to write. It comes from a heart full of concern about giving 
others the joy of Christ. We've tried other ways of wakening 
you smug Christians. In prayer meeting we've said things. 
Individually we've preached the gospel of living like Christ. 
We've honestly tried to practice following Him so the vet, 
and anyone else, would know. We've failed. But God hasn't 
failed. He's given direct answer to prayer, and He's promised 
much more. 

But, back to our vet. He's not just a story book char- 
acter. One here at P.C. said, "If their religion is so wonder- 
ful, why don't they offer it to those of us who haven't got 
it?!" How can we honestly answer that? The only way I 
can answer it is to admit that I haven't done what I could 
have and then promise a new try. What's your excuse ? Busy ? 
Yeah, we've all been busy. So busy and wrapped up in our 
own pink tape of petty activities that we haven't been on 
the ball. 

Maybe we're wrong, but we can't find any place in the 
records of the dealings of our Supreme Example, Jesus Christ, 
where He looked down His nose on non-believers and treated 
them as lepers. Rather, He preached the good news of friend- 
liness, of "love thy neighbor". He told us that God is no re- 
spector of persons. What right have you to be?' 

We don't plead for the hearty, back-slapping technique. 
We just ask that maybe you smile at the next non-Christian 
you meet. Then speak, sometime find time to talk to him. 
He's probably thirsty for the nectar of a good solid friendship. 
Let Jesus tell you what to do. This is the only solution for 
our problem. Be a Christian. Be the closest "child of the 
King" that you can. But, for goodness sakes, SHOW IT! 



Mistletoe Kissing 
Proven Illegal (?) 

Girl sees beau 

Whistles low 

Mistletoe 

Kissles slow 

Girl's got beau. 
There are twenty species of 
mistletoe widely distributed in the 
warmer parts of th world, but the 
only mistletoe proper, Viscum al- 
bum, is a native of Europe. We 
also find that mistletoe was a 
ceremonial plant among early 
European nations such as the 
Celts and Teutons. This is prob- 
ably where the custom of kissing 
under the mistletoe originated. 
With these excerpts from the En- 
cyclopaedia Britanica in mind we 
form the conclusion that the 
mistletoe found here in Oregon is 
not the true mistletoe, therefore 
the custom of kissing under it 
should be abolished. Christmas 
trees and Santa Claus also 
customs brought down to us from 
early European countries, so if we 
discontinue the custom of mistle- 
toe we should also forget Santa 
Claus and the Christmas tree. 

P. S. — The moral is: Who cares 
whether its the real thing or not — 
as long as it works! 



Steam Vent 



How about giving the girls a 
break? 

It seems to us that the boys of 
this coUege have been given spe- 
cial privileges in regards to the 
use of the gym. 

The girls' • physical education 
program calls for at least two 
periods each week. Does it not 
seem only logical and fair that 
we be given the use of the gym for 
these class periods? 

The girls have braved the mud 
and rain many times while the 
"fella's" enjoy the shelter and 
privileges of the gymnasium. 
"Breihien, this ought not to be 
so." 

We l ave hoard several explana- 
tions concerning this problem but 
non^ to our satisfaction. 

We have high hopes of schedul- 
ing some basketball games our- 
selves so we need some practice too. 

Let's wrok out a more satisfac- 
tory program. Shall we? 

Dorothy Barratt 

Ed. note — Good idea, Dot, but 
we've always followed that quaint 
Chinese tradition. Evidently mas- 
culine priority wasn't torn down 
with the old gym.

phases of the building is the main 
playing floor. Two coats of floor 
hardener and two coats of special 
vainish has made the gym's huge 
playing floor one of the best in 
this vicinity of Oregon. Court 
markings on the floor include the 
main playing floor ,of standard 
size; two basketball crosscourts; 
two volleyball courts, and a 
doubles court for badminton. 

The new gym building is also 
serving another purpose at the 
present time. Owing to the fact 
that the college has an acute hous- 
ing shortage, the two recreation 
rooms in the gym are at present 
being used as temporary boys' 
dorms for sixteen boys. 

Installation of lights and wiring 
of the building is now being done 
and two other dressing rooms on 
the north side of the building are 
expected to be completed within 
the month.

P. U. Reserves 
Top Jr. Quakers 

An inexperienced Pacific college 
junior varsity team, many of the 
team members getting a taste of 
college basketball for the first 
time, foil by the wayside to a snap- 
py uu->-ji of Pacific university first 
e ui reserves at Forest Grove last 
Friday night by the tally of 72-13. 
The Badger reserves, using a brand 
of ball that could easily hold a 
candle to some the the bigger uni- 
versities in the country, absolutely 
dominated the prelim's scoring 
column. 

It was the outstanding hooping 
ability of a couple of PTJ gents by 
the names of Reed and Whitbeck 
that paid off dividends for the For- 
est Grove crew. Reed dominated 
the scoring column with a huge 
tally of 22 points to his credit 
while Whitbeck run a close second 
with 20. High pointer for the los- 
ers was Wayne Antrim, canning 
5 of the Junior "Quaker's '* 13 
points. 

Halftime score in the fracus was 
3*-7 in favor of the Badger re- 
serves. The game proved to be a 
clean one on the part of the locals 
with only 8 personals being called 
on them during the tilt. 

Every member of the PC junior 
varsity got a chance to see what 
they could do against against some 
tough college competition in this, 
their opening tilt.

The student body should donate Dick Tracy detective badges to 
every member of the Crescent staff — that is, providing they can find 
enough box tops. Since the last issue (which was a month ago, thanks 
to the Thanksgiving vacation), the newshawks have been snooping 
around and listening through keyholes trying to unravel the complicat- 
ed knots in school life. 

Printed herein are four official suggestions of the Crescent staff 
relating to the Monday and Thursday compulsory chapels. We hope 
the statements are clear and that with the general knowledge of the 
situation a workable plan may be evolved. This article in its entirety 
has been endorsed by the Crescent staff and has also been read by 
the chairman of the chapel committee prior to publication. 
On with the suggestions: 

1. A financial goal should be set. In this case, even aiming at 
a star would be better than not aiming at all. The chapel committee 
is appropriated only enough money to pay the transportation expenses 
from Portland. Noted speakers can be obtained through the YMCA, 
the Portland Council of Churches, and various civic bodies but the com- 
mittee has hesitated to make arrangements since they cannot offer 
any remuneration to the speaker. Others, and this is especially true 
of entertainers, are compelled to charge because of their wage 
protection. 

There is no fund in the general budget that can be diverted to 
this use. Many of our neighboring colleges have a lecture or program 
fund established from a private gift. Some schools secure talent through 
private campus agencies — YMCA, houses and clubs. Others have a spe- 
cial fee. This has been discouraged at Pacific because expenses are 
held to the minimum. However, a fee of $1.50 for each student per 
year would bring to the campus nationally-known personages. Also 
good films could be rented for a few cents per pupil. 

The student body should discuss this matter and either present 
some concrete recommendation to the committee or, if none can be 
found, let the discussion drop and give them all the cooperation pos- 
sible until the long-range plans materialize. 

2. Waitresses should sit in room 23 (under the balcony) and 
exit through that side door. Even though the speaker has been inform- 
ed of the impending disturbances, the clamour of heels on the creaky 
balcony stairs is annoying to everyone. 

3. A student stould be included on the chapel committee. Stu- 
dents have avoided discussing their suggestions and criticisms with the 
committee, resulting in a public misunderstandng. A member who knew 
the likes and dislikes of the group for whom the chapels are arranged 
would be a guarantee against such a condition. 

True, Wednesday and Friday are student chapels. Wednesday's 
is prepared by the Student Christian Union and Friday's by the student 
body council. However, a faculty adviser is presented at the executive 
meetings of both groups. 

4. Our present number of chapels per week is sufficient. 

We have attempted to make a fair analysis of the situation. Let's 
face it, roll up our sleeves, and really get something done!

"And above all these things put on charity (Love, RV) which is 
the bond of perfectness and let the peace of God rule in your hearts." 

FINDING THE ANSWERS 
By Quincy Fodge 

What shall I do next summer? What should be my life work? 
Should I go to Portland, study, or go to prayer meeting? Should we, 
as a couple, go steady? Should we get married? . . . And a thousand 
other things which we must decide. 

These questions and many others bothered me at different times. 
As a Christian I wanted to know what I should do, not what was moral- 
ly right or wrong but what was the will of the Lord. I had promised 
Him that He had complete charge of my life: the problem was knowing 
His will. 

The first big problem to me that had to be settled was whether 
to return to school my sophomore year or to stay out and farm. I con- 
sulted two ministers and the thing that gave me something to hold on 
to was the promise in Col. When I had prayed more I decided to go 
back to school. As soon as I made that decision a peace came over me 
that I hadn't had for days. This was my first experience in letting the 
peace of God "rule in my heart", but since then I have tried it over 
and over. Each time it works the same way in both large and small 
problems. 

I have found these suggestions helpful in working out my own 
problems; perhaps you will too. 

First: Bsay that God might have His way. 
Second: Don't be in too great a hurry to decide. 
Third: Look at all the possibilities. 

Fourth. Decide as best you can, leaving your mind open to change. 
Fifth: If it is the Lord's will you'll have a peace and joy within. 
If it's not His will you'll feel miserable. 

If the latter is true, don't be afraid to change your decision, be- 
cause God has something better. This has helped me to grow spiritually. 



Fashion Follies 

These days your head is in one 
dizzy whirl, and you have hours 
and minutes counted 'till that 
glorious Christmas holiday. It's all 
going to be one breathless round, 
and you know full well that's the 
only way to live. You have Christ- 
mas parties on your mind, and 
plans for surprising him with that 
special gift. There'll be afternoons 
full of fun, too, seeing all those 
friends you left so hurriedly in 
September. And there'll be a tow- 
ering Christmas tree showered 
with tinsel, and just what you've 
been yearning for wrapped up in 
shining packages under it. Of 
course all this makes that geo- 
metry theorem just twice as hard 
to learn, and that short story for 
freshman composition next to im- 
possible. 

And then you're reminded of 
your very own "corollaries," — 
those dresses now hanging in your 
closet, waiting to take your gaily 
through all the flurry of this 
Christmas fun. You've reviewed 
your dresses one by one, and you 
know by heart which one your"re 
wearing where. But you're pin- 
ing for just one more holiday dress, 
and the minute mother says "yes" 
you know exactly what you're go- 
ing to choose. Your new dress will 
be a bold and beautiful toast-warm 
plain, and designed for curling up 
in front of open fires, and looking 
just right among your cousins 
and your uncles and your aunts on 
Christmas day. Such a dress is the 
one we've sketched. You'll treas- 



ure its smooth simplicity, its high 
throat-hugging collar, and its 
minuscle middle. You'll hunt for 
a kitten-soft wool plaid for this 
dress, and it will be a plaid with 
lots of bright, bright red in it. 
When it's done, you'll add your 
favorite leather belt. Or maybe 
you prefer to choose a two-piece 
wool, and you'll have a skirt that 




can go places with any sweater 
as well as with its own topper. 
This may be a light-hearted two- 
piecer with the new long-line 
sweater over-blouse, and generous 
box pleats all around the shirt. It, 
too, may have a high little collar, 
and lines that will do the most for 
a precious plaid. Choose either 
suggestion and you're ready to 
meet each and every moment in 
your holiday whirligig . . .

This week I decided maybe the 
readers of "CLUBLIClTy. " would 
enjoy a few opinions of those be- 
longing to different clubs. 

* » * 

The Ministerial association is 
giving reports which show pro- 
gressiveness in the club. NORVAL 
HADLEY has this to report, "Any- 
one who is earnest in his intent to 
give his life in the ministry of God 
will seek every available means 
to prepare himself. The Student 
Ministerial association is organ- 
ized by consecrated students for 
the purpose of applying in Pacific 
college, more than a book-learning 
means of preparation. The mem- 
bers of the association are sincere 
in their concern for it and by God's 
help it will surely accomplish it's 
purpose. 

Through the organization, stu- 
dents will study practical problems 
of practicing ministers, will hear 
experienced workers, and will col- 
lectively help to hold up the spirit- 
ual life of the school. They may 
also work with the deputation 
chairman of the Student Christian 
Union to get some preaching ex- 
perience in out-post churches." 

* * • 

Since Actorators have not blazed 
any headlines this year, president, 
ELLEN BAIN, has left us with a 
few pointers. "Each member 
must take an active part in a play 
or further a play during the school 
year. They must also enter one 
speech event. The club boosts for- 
ensics, speech organizations, and 
plays. Actorators advertises for 
all plays and oratorical events. 

Engagement 

The engagement of Miss Joyce 
Perisho, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Zen as Perisho of Newberg, and 
Mr. Claude Lewis, son of Professor 
and Mrs. Russell Lewis of New- 
berg, was announced Thanksgiving 
day at the Perisho home on Han- 
cock street. 

Miss Perisho graduated from Pa- 
cific college in 1945 and as present 
is teaching school at West Che- 
halem. 

Mr. Lewis is a senior at Pacific 
college and plans to attend Oregon 
State college next school year. 

No date has been set for the 
wedding.

DONNA HEACOCK leaves us 
with this bit of information from 
I.R.C. "Anticipating a chapel pro- 
gram in the near future, the mem- 
bers of the International Relations 
club are preparing a symposium 
dealing with one specific phase of 
the American labor problem. The 
exact subject and speakers are to 
be announced in the next issue as 
the plans were considered for the 
first time in the December 10 
meeting. 

Of special interest in the De- 
cember 10 luncheon-meeting of the 
club was the review by Dale Par- 
rish of the book, "Soviet Russia 
Today," recentiy acquired through 

the Carnegie Endowment. 

* * * 

The W.A.A. would like to sug- 
gest that you give a "VARSITY 
VIC" for a Christmas present. 
How about it? 

* * * 

Verla informs us to the follow- 
ing: 

Leona Harris was elected presi- 
dent of Trefian club this fall, but 
because of so many other conflict- 
ing activities she had to resign. 
Patty Perisho was then elected as 
president. 

Plans are being made by Divonna 
Schweitzer, local chairman of the 
club, and her committee for the 
Christmas party to be held in Kan- 
yon hall next Wednesday after- 
noon, December 18 at :15 p. m. 
Be sure to notice the bulletin board 
for announcement concerning the 
gift exchange of this party. Don't 
miss this Trefian party; there's 
sure to be something you'll en- 
joy."

Girls Prove Mysterious 

Yes, C.S.U. is the only given 
name of the organization. 

Meetings are held just "ever so 
often" in B. J. SNOW's room. Also 
occuping this room is LOIS 
WHITE and MARY JACKSON. 

It seems as though the door is 
locked very well and the whisper- 
ed tones are the only indication 
of any activity. 

The last member to be initiated 
was poor 'lil ELLEN BAIN. We 
found she definately "confirmed" 
the rules of the union. 

The whole mystery started when 
a number of fellas found invita- 
tions to a mixer called "Platter 
Chatter" being sponsored by the 
C.S.U. Curiosity was aroused and 
now we're wondering what those 
foot- loose and fancy-free girls of 
Edwards hall have up their sleeves. 

Steadies don't seem to enter the 
picture. Could it be they (steadies) 
tell all their secrets to that cer- 
tain friend? 

The only way to identify one of 
that mysterious group is by the 
queer way th-y tie their shoe 
strings — ir.ver;.ed . . .

orable president, MISS BETHEL 
HERNDON.
